A happy ending after surgeries, stenting, & a renal auto-transplant - with Simone Erdner, PhD

from The POTScast · host Standing Up to POTS, Inc.

Simone was a professor of sport psychology enjoying a trip through Mexico when symptoms became too serious to ignore.  POTS was just one of many symptoms (many were gynecological) and she ultimately learned she had multiple compression syndromes including May Thurner Syndrome, for which she received a stent, and Nutrcracker Syndrome, for which she underwent a renal autotransplant surgery to move her kidney.  After 7 surgeries in 2 years, Simone feels she got her life back, and has created The Nutcracker Syndrome Podcast to share her experiences, advice, lessons learned, and much more.
